"‘Wave’ of Another Kind of Blue is technically stunning."Annette Embrechts, de Volkskrant
We live on the waves of our existence, with on the one hand the inner movements between joy and sadness and on the other the cyclical movements of nature.
The changing of the seasons, the waves in the sea, but also sound waves and signal waves, they come and they go in a never-ending stream of motion. Life is intertwined with these waves, it is a natural dynamic principle that also determines dance to a great extent.
In line with Another Kind of Blue’s theme, choreographer David Middendorp explores in the new full-length performance Wave what role technology plays in our lives and how technology influences the ubiquitous waves of our existence. The five Wave choreographies, Airman, Frequentie & Frequentie², 15 Minute Universe en HandsON Stage,, each cast their own view on this special dance between man and technology.

“David Middendorp creates tantalizing visual effects with dancing drones and digital sand.”
NRC, Francine van der Wiel

Choreographies




Upcoming shows
Choreographies
Airman
A duet between man and technology in which a swarm of drones is the embodiment of human consciousness
Frequentie & Frequentie²
In these two choreographies the dancers enter into a dialogue with sand patterns created by the mathematical rhythm of nature
15 Minute Universe
Playing with the relativity of time and space, the dancers use motion capture to build their own universe within fifteen minutes and then tear it down completely as well
Hands On Stage
Speak without using a single word. Hands ON Stage is an ode to the way we communicate with our hands
